Hi, trying to do this on a Ubuntu box, very limited experience.

I clone the git to my top level directory and followed the steps, I'm just unable to start the script. The usual response is node can't find it. Any chance for an in-depth walk-thru?

Thanks!

try npm install on the code folder should install all dependency including tuya-api
